I blame grosjean.

 

[Tempy]

Massa for pole~ (or would they go FP2?)

 

[nature boy]

F1 doesn't have cars to dry the track?

What a fucking joke

 

[stryke]

hah

It does, they are the actual cars. If they just get the fuckers out there it would be fine in minutes.

 

[ramparter]

When people ask you what happened here, tell them Winter came for House Tifosi.

 

[Tempy]

How long will they wait until they call it? F2 race is supposed to start in less than 1 hr.

EDIT: They could try Sunday morning qualifying. It is supposed to be dry tomorrow.

 

[ElTorro]

Race control seems to think that modern F1 cars and drivers are made of sugar.

 

[Black_Stride]

Pissing down now. How late can they delay until they call it off?

What happens if they do call off Qualifying?
Whatever times recorded go forward?

 

[Zaru]

Well see you guys tomorrow morning

 

[Lach]

Oh no. Swiss TV has to postpone "The Princess Diaries"!

 

[Aiii]

Fuck that noise, just get them out there, the men will qualify and the boys will retire.

 

[Grug]

Lol, Nando.

"I don't give a fuck, I'm starting at the back anyway".

 

[nature boy]

Can't believe the crowd aren't booing hard these idiots

 

[Lach]

I mean they're not going to start now. It's gone worse again!

 

[Grug]

Another 15... and there will be more.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

All this mess and tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Every time a Sunday morning session has been suggested, the broadcasters have shut it down. (edit: Nvm. As Brundle just said, they did it in Austin 2015)

They should just call it and use the FP3 results.

 

[DBT85]

Sport has full wet tyres, pirelli spends a fortune designing and shipping them to every race, cars aren't allowed to run in wet conditions.

It's just that damn resurfaced pit straight. Retaining too much standing water. You can't have cars aquaplaning on a straight.

I can see why they did in Austin, but here they'll have a hard time fitting in qualifying in the morning with the F2/GP3/Porsche races. FP3 was washed out as well. FP2 would be better, but I'm not sure what the rules are here.

 

[Grug]

Hahah Marko...

"You can't just stop a session because Grosjean goes off, because Grosjean always goes off".

Savage.

Yeah, that was brutal truth from Marko.

If some drivers can't hack the conditions, tell them to stay in the garage.

 

[Grug]

God Sky are precious. Do they really have to pull Lauda up live for saying "it's pissing down".

 

[Aiii]

God Sky are precious. Do they really have to pull Lauda up live for saying "it's pissing down".

Yes. Unless you want them to just show an empty wet race track all afternoon.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Oh no he said a slightly bad word! How dare him!

 

[Business]

What a shitshow again.

 

[Grug]

I don't follow.

Never watched it during the BBC days?

Apparently apologising for the "fruity" language is precious, now? Come on.

 

[Tempy]

I guess it sorta makes sense to keep waiting now.

If it's too wet for F1Q, then it's also too wet for F2/GP3/Porsche, so keep pushing everything later until you can race. The Porsche Super Cup race risks being run in really dark conditions though.

 

[Grug]

Lol, dial it back nekkid. My post was before the "fruity language" bit. Like I LITERALLY said in my post, it was the pulling of Lauda up live during the interview with the "oh... uh... " awkward pause and effectively making him retract it.

Not a huge deal, just a comment at the time. Having to spend multiple posts on it now even more of a waste.

 

[GrimmGrinn]

Did they all forgot to bring wet tyres or something?

The UK has (had?) a bunch of rules about not broadcasting rude content before a certain time of the day.

You can read about it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_(broadcasting)#United_Kingdom

Dabbing? In my F1?!

Just seems odd to be specifically pulling up Sky for that.

Is the basic understanding that all other formula take a back seat to F1 sessions in all circumstances?

Not as odd as I find this back and forth.

 

[Xando]

Gotta love the dutch.
Their football team sucks, their driver constantly DNFs and still they’re celebrating

 

[Tempy]

As far as I know yeah.

Here's an example of when they had to cancel a GP3 race because they had to repair barriers because of Sainz' crash - https://www.autosport.com/gp3/news/121253/gp3-race-cancelled-after-sainz-crash

Chocolate, cheese, mini pancakes, frites and weed. I'd be celebrating.

It's stopped raining!

[Grug]

Alright, bomb Eau Rouge. Start again.

 

[Gandie]

Why even bring Full Wets?

 

[Tempy]

Massa's still the shortest driver on the grid right?

 

[Xando]

They really need to think of something for the time something like this happens.

Get them onto a PS4 and do a F12017 race to get time passing

 

[SictorVullivan]

Watching lewis and valtteri on instagram is more entertaining than this lol

 

[DrM]

20.000 people watching Lewis and Valterri playing PS4

Charging his DS4 through a power bank with the shortest cable I've ever seen.

It's Perelli and FIA's job to design tyres and tracks that won't aquaplane. It's not Whitings fault the circuit isn't draining fast enough and the cars are turning into canoes down the pit straight.

lol. No one has ever designed tyres that wont aquaplane in conditions such as this.

Also, aquaplaning doesnt always happen with the tyres - the plank under the car can also induce aquaplaning - and when that happens it doesnt matter what rubber you're on.

I'm sitting here watching them be shit at Trials while there's actually a pretty interesting discussion with Christian Horner going on.
